Made by Jacobus Burger (2023) for the ASCII Game Jam 2023.
An ASCII game about a rebellious robot fighting to bring organic life to their machine world. Fight the machine-world and bring the wonder of a bio world to this mechanical one!
BIOWORLD includes
- 3 interesting bosses
- neat storyline
- straightforward battle system
Not much else, it's a simple game!
All you need to play the game is a Python 3 interpreter on your system. From there, simply run python3 bioworld.py and the game will go!
I should have begun with a design instead of figuring it out as I went. I did well to avoid scope-creep by keeping things simple and features limited. I learned how to better manage gamestate and the challenges of game balance.
